How Your Age And Stage Shapes Your Financial Plan
In Season 5 of Where’s My Money? Reagan invited three Kiwis from different generations – Gen X, Y (millennials) and Z – to discuss their perspectives on common money challenges and see where they differ and where they align. You might be surprised to see how similar some of the opinions of each generation were.
Reflecting on the episode, enable.me Head Strategic Coach Katie Wesney discusses the ‘generation battle’ with Reagan. She says she could see that “everyone’s worried about money relative to their life stage,” which is a common thread she sees in her coaching sessions with clients every day. When working with clients, Katie finds it vital to meet her clients “where they are” and use their starting situation as a springboard to move forwards.
Katie and Reagan discuss the ways each generation consumes information, the skepticisms that are common in each age bracket, and their general perception of financial advice.
Listen to the bite-sized 8-minute episode to get the full benefit of Katie’s experience and insights.

Practical Tips for Raising Financially Fit Kids
In episode 1 of Season 5, Suzy Cato joined the podcast to talk about her career and the new direction she is heading in – a television show about finances, for children.
We invited enable.me financial coach Lisa Butler to reflect on the conversation with Suzy, sharing her expertise and advice for preparing your children to be financially independent adults.
Some of the tips that Lisa covers are:
- Start young – talk about money and the financial decisions you are making when your children are still little.
- Model positive financial skills, such as using (and sticking to) a shopping list.
- Consider using a low-stakes way to teach your children about money as they get older. A good way to do this is through pocket money.
- You can give your kids some responsibility over budgets for their expenses. If they know the annual budget set aside for their clothes shopping, for example, they will be more intentional when they select their new fashion.
- Give smaller responsibilities as your children reach their teens, like phone bills, gifts, and transport costs.
Mostly, Lisa reminds parents to let their children make mistakes, while the stakes are tens of dollars, rather than thousands of dollars. Listen to the full conversation for all the insights about raising financially fit kids.
